Abstract
Systems and methods for performing scheduled backups and recovery of data generated by a production application operating on a MAGIC platform located on a host computer. The data is stored in a primary storage in the form of a production volume and ISB protocol is used to create a clone volume. Exemplary methods for backing up a clone volume to a backup storage include receiving a backup command from a backup server, sending a split command to a host computer to initiate splitting of a production volume and a clone volume using ISB protocol, receiving an identification of the clone volume, initiating the clone volume for surfacing and mounting, and initiating a backup of the surfaced and mounted clone volume to a backup storage.
